He who has white spots on his nails is
fond of the society of ladies, but is tickle
in his attachments. He who keeps them
well rounded at the tips is a proud man.
He whose nails are detached from the
finger at the further extremities, and
when cut showing a larger proportion of
the finger than usual, ought never to get
married, as it would be a wonder IL he
were master in his own house, for short
nails betoken patience, good nature, and,
above all, resignation under severe trials.
Nails which remain long after being
cut level with the finger end are a aign
Of generosity. Transparent nails with
light red mark a cheerful, gentle and
amiable disposition. Lovers with trans
parent nails usually carry their passion
to the verge Of madness. If you come
across a man with long and pointed nails
you may take it for granted that he is
either a player of the guitar, a tailor, or
IN attorney. He who keeps his nails
somewhat long, round and tipped with
black is a romantic poet.
Tho owner of very round and smooth
nails Is Of a peaceable and conciliatory
disposition. he who has the nail Of his
right thumb slightly notched is a regular
glutton, even nibbling at himself, as,
when having nothing eatable at hand, he
falls to biting his own finger nails. And,
lastly, he who keeps his nails irregularly
cut Is hasty and determined. Men who
have not the patience to cut their nails
properly generally come to grief; most Of
them commit suicide OF get married. -

Bottle Label. IN Germany.

The idea of the transfer pictures"
painted in glaring colors and designed for
children, which they can transfer to their
copy books or other objects by simply
~moistening the picture or the objects, has
been adopted by a German for labelling
bottles, and is likely to be a great success.

A Phase of Political Independence,

The Century.
The fact that party managers and
public officials show themselves so re-
sponsive to the vilest elements of 30
ciety indicates great activity on the
part of these vilest elements. Their
number is not large, but their zeal is
hot aud their purpose is strong; what
they lack in weight they make up in
velocity. Their demands are incess-
ant and insistent; their pressure up
on the political leaders is never light
ened. The better classes make no
such demonstrations of their purpose.
There is little political activity
among them; their numbers and
their weight give them little force,
because there is 80 little movement.
The vilest prevail over the best be-
cause they are so much more active
in their own interest, and so much
more positive in their demands.
They gain advantage, also, in an
other way. They are much less in
tense in their partisanship. One who
watches the municipal contests in a
city where the two great parties are
pretty evenly balanced will see that
the disorderly and vicious classes are
by no means welded to either party.
Their vote goes, almost solidly, first
to one party and then to the other
always to the candidates that are the
most satisfactory to them. Their po-
litical principles are precisely those
which one of our prominent capital
lists has SO humorously avowed, and
for the same reason. They are no
bigoted partisans, not they. Conse-
quently they manage, in a good
many of our cities, to have things
largely their own way.
If the supremacy of the vilest in
our municipal governments is ex-
planned by the facts just mentioned,
the way of overthrowing that supre-
macy is clearly indicated. A great
increase of political activity and a
corresponding abatement of PARTISAN
ship on the part of the best citizens
is urgently called for. The latter is
the simpler, and perhaps the more
effective, remedy. If the upper hal
of each of the great parties were as
fearlessly independent as the lowest
quarter Of the party is, the rule of the
vilest would speedily cease and de
termine. 1t is the confidence of the
bosses that the better citizens will bt
steadfastly loyal to their party obi
cations, that encourage them to truck
and dicker with the rabble. The
knowledge that they were in danger
of losing the support of the reputable
people would lead them to withdraw
from that alliance.
The effectiveness Of this remedy
has already been demonstrated il
several of our great cities. In these
cities there is great gain in the per
sonnet of the government, and in thu
vigor and purity Of the administra
ton. The same remedy is within
reach of the voters of all our cities.

In the Tolls

f. Il. Thomas was arrested yesterday
BY Marshal Ballantyne on charge OF
obtaining money under false pretenses.
Thomas and friend, who claims to be
a correspondent of the Courier-Journal
have been working the town for cards
OF the business houses to hang in the
post Office. Some of the business men
claim that they guaranteed to have the
cards remain for five years and repre-
sented that the postmaster had given
them the use of the building for that
length of time. The postmaster SAID he
had given no guarantee that the cards
would remain there for that or any
other length of time. Thomas claims
that he did not guarantee that the ads
would remain for five years: but he
took them for FIVE years, thinking that
ne might want to come around again by
that time. The complaint is sworn t3
by Geo. B. Douglass.

Painting.

The painters art is,one that gives a
wide field for the display Of tact and
ability. Many Of our local business
men and others, have been under the
impression. apparently, that frst-class
work could not be done in this city, and
in some instances have sent their work
away. This is certainly an error, and
were the rule applied to the purchase
Of merchandise, the fallacy would soon
be discovered by our merchants. Some
Of our business houses bear unmistak-
able evidence of the ability of our local
artists, and reflect credit on them as
well as on the owners. A notable in
stance is the work on the Kuhn build
ing, which was done by Mr.. 7. G.
Morris, and which is as fine as the kind
of work could be-the finest in the Ter
ritOry. With painting, as with every
thing else, our people should send away
for nothing that can be procured at
home. Help those who help you.
Exert every effort to build up your
own town, and you surely will reap
your portion of the common benefit.
